Chapter 165: Lin Xueer Shows Her Might, Kicking a Steel Plate

"Stop!"

Just as Zhou Chen finished speaking, a loud shout interrupted their moment of intimacy.

A dozen powerful auras instantly locked onto the two of them.

Leading them was a young man with sinister eyes, wearing the robes of a Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground Disciple; his cultivation had surprisingly reached the fourth level of the Saint Realm.

Behind him followed five or six fellow Disciples, each with an extraordinary aura, all at the second level of the Saint Realm or higher.

"How bold! After killing someone from our Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground, you still dare to stay here and enjoy yourselves?!"

After surveying the surrounding battle traces and seeing the unnatural flush on Lin Xueer's face, the newcomer immediately concluded that Xie Baoqing had been killed by the two before him—a guess that happened to be correct.

There was no other way; someone had to take the fall. The man and woman in front of him were perfect scapegoats. The woman was at the third level of the Saint Realm, and the man looked like a pretty boy who could be ignored.

After all, the person who died was the son of Elder Xie of the Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground. Even if it was just for show, an explanation had to be given.

"No matter who you are, since you dared to kill our Junior Brother Xie Baoqing of the Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground, today will be the day you die!"

The leading young man took a step forward, giving the two no chance to defend themselves.

Zhou Chen checked his opportunity panel and discovered that this person was another Serial Saint of the Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground, Shan Bin.

He stared fixedly at Zhou Chen, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

"How can you be so sure we killed him? Do you have evidence?"

Looking at the aggressive man, Zhou Chen showed a playful smile. Anyone familiar with Zhou Chen knew that someone was about to be unlucky.

"You are the only ones within a hundred miles; if it wasn't you, then who? And even if it wasn't you, so what? If I say it was you, it was you. Pretty boy, if you let us have some fun with the beauty beside you and kneel down to beg us, we might consider letting you live."

“Hahahahahahaha, the boss is right!”

“This little beauty is really something! Boss, don't forget to let us have a taste too! Let your brothers try something fresh!”

Shan Bin let out a lewd laugh, and the accompanying Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground Disciples followed suit, some even whistling at Lin Xueer.

It was as if they could already see Zhou Chen's miserable death and the scene of Lin Xueer being humiliated by them at will.

Lin Xueer's gaze turned cold. Just as she was about to say something, Zhou Chen raised his hand to stop her and simply uttered four words: "Any last words?"

This blatant provocation and contempt instantly ignited Shan Bin's fury.

"You piece of trash, you think you're enough? Do you think your Holy Land can protect you on the Emperor Road? Today, even if your Holy Lord comes, he won't be able to save you!"

Shan Bin gave a cruel laugh, his gaze turning to Lin Xueer beside Zhou Chen, a flash of greed in his eyes. "You look quite good. After I kill him, little beauty, you can obediently become my Cauldron! Hahaha!"

However, they didn't notice that when Shan Bin said the word 'Cauldron', Lin Xueer's eyes turned completely cold.

"You seek death."

Lin Xueer's clear, cold voice rang out, and the surrounding temperature plummeted; she could no longer hold back from attacking.

Zhou Chen did not stop her this time; he also wanted to see how far Lin Xueer's current strength had progressed.

Saint Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique—Ten Thousand Miles of Ice!

"Seeking death? Haha, beauty, are you joking? A mere third level Saint Realm…"

However, before Shan Bin could finish his sentence, his voice came to an abrupt halt.

An indescribably terrifying chill erupted violently with Lin Xueer as the center!

Crack, crack!

On the ground, a visible layer of frost spread at an alarming speed. In the next moment, the area for hundreds of meters around was completely encased in frost, looking quite beautiful.

However, the Disciples of the Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground were in no mood to admire it.

"This… what power is this? Everyone, be careful!"

Shan Bin's face changed drastically. To resist this chill, he felt his Qi draining away rapidly.

"It's the Frost Ice Spirit Body! The legendary talent Physique!"

A Disciple screamed in terror.

Lin Xueer gave them no time to react.

She raised her right hand slightly and clenched her slender fingers in the air.

"Ice Realm: Descent!"

Hum—

For thousands of meters around, the world changed color!

An ice core condensed from the Emperor Cold Bead flew from Lin Xueer's hand into the sky, transforming into a cold mist that instantly enveloped everyone.

Countless ice crystals appeared out of thin air, dancing in the sky like falling cherry blossoms; each crystal contained extremely terrifying energy.

The entire world seemed to have turned into a realm of ice and snow!

"Not good! Form a formation!"

Roar!!!

Shan Bin's soul nearly left his body as he frantically activated the Saint power within him. A massive fire dragon appeared in front of him.

It was his Saint Rank Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Nine Dragon Platform.

Other Disciples also summoned their Magic Treasures, attempting to resist this terrifying chill.

However, before Lin Xueer, who had awakened the Frost Ice Spirit Body, their struggles appeared laughable.

Lin Xueer's gaze was indifferent as she gently waved her hand.

"Extinguish."

In the next moment, the sky full of ice crystals instantly turned into death's scythe, sweeping through the people of the Wild Antiquity Sacred Ground.

A second-level Saint Realm Disciple didn't even have time to scream before his protective Magic Treasure shattered, and he was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

Bang!

He then turned into a cloud of ice dust, his body and soul utterly destroyed.

"No—!"

Shan Bin was now completely panicked; he never imagined in his wildest dreams that Lin Xueer's strength would be so formidable.

The second, the third…

In the blink of an eye, except for Shan Bin who was still struggling to hold on, all the other Disciples had died!

If you were to ask why they didn't crush their Starry Sky Emperor Seals, you'd have to look at that schemer Zhou Chen.

The Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art was on standby at all times.

Whenever he saw someone summoning an emperor seal, he would hit them with a Spirit Cone Piercer, leaving them stunned in place.

By the time they reacted, Lin Xueer's attack was already before their eyes.

"Aaaah! I'll take you with me! Wild Antiquity Heaven Incineration!"

Rumble!

Shan Bin had gone completely mad and began burning his essence blood. The Nine Dragon Platform expanded rapidly as he actually self-detonated the Spiritual Artifact, yet it couldn't harm the two in the slightest.

Seeing this, Shan Bin felt despair. With a ruthless look, he burned every drop of his essence blood.

In the next moment, his entire body expanded at high speed.

Boom!

At such a close distance, the terrifying explosion instantly swept toward Zhou Chen and Lin Xueer.

Facing Shan Bin's desperate counterattack, Lin Xueer's expression remained unchanged.

A bead radiating endless cold air slowly emerged from between her eyebrows.

The Cold Emperor Bead!

"Fix."

As Lin Xueer spoke, the Cold Emperor Bead shone brilliantly, transforming into an ice shield that instantly enveloped the two of them like a thick ice house.

Ding ding ding!

Shan Bin's self-detonation lasted for several breaths, and the shockwave leveled the surrounding area. However, the Cold Emperor Bead was worthy of being an Imperial Rank Spiritual Artifact; it remained completely unmoved.

If Shan Bin could see this scene, he would probably be so angry he'd die all over again.

He thought Lin Xueer would be an easy target, but he never expected to kick a steel plate.

Zhou Chen stood to the side; besides preventing these people from escaping, he hadn't lifted a finger.

Looking at Lin Xueer's current performance, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Crisis truly was the best way to train someone; the former mercenary group leader had grown enough to stand on her own.

The wind and snow stopped abruptly, and the ice crystals dissipated.

It was as if nothing had happened, with only a few fragments of Spiritual Artifacts remaining on the ground to prove everything that had occurred.
